Description: | A sheet copper-alloy, Medieval buckle plate. The plate is wider than it is long, and has been folded over, with the back plate smaller than the front plate. The back plate is curved along its leading edge. The plate is narrowed to accommodate the buckle frame and has a central notch to accommodate the pin. Both the frame and pin are missing. The two plates have three, evenly-spaced, drilled rivet holes along the horizontal centre-line, each one with a copper-alloy, dome-headed rivet in-situ, joining the two plates together. Fragments of the original leather strap remain in-situ between the plates. There is evidence of gilding on the front face of the plate. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, Dress Accessories, page 75, no. 311, and Whitehead, Buckles 1250-1800, page 26, no. 132.
